Steven Siegel: Biography

Nov 26 2013-Jan 04 2014

The Directors of Marlborough Gallery are pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition by the sculptor and installation artist Steven Siegel. The exhibition will open on Tuesday, November 26, 2013 and will continue through Saturday, January 4, 2014. The artist will install forty-six sections of his ongoing work Biography, 2008-2013, a monumental wall-mounted sculpture approximately eighty-one feet long. The thousands of various everyday items that comprise this work, ranging from paper and twine to electrical wires and rubber tires, are tightly packed into intricate layers, creating an integrated whole. This sprawling work is divided into smaller individual sections, which when viewed alone, constitute a complex work of art in themselves and mark a specific and significant point in the continuum. This exhibition will feature sections 95-49, as a continuation of the 2011 exhibition at Marlborough Chelsea where sections 48-1 were debuted. Together, all ninety-five sections span 156 feet.
